For each of the following pairs of compounds, choose which will elute faster in a TLC experiment (i. e., which compound will have a larger Rf value). Explain what factors led to your choice. 6 pt a. Naphthalene or 1-Bromonaphthalene Choice Explanation: 1-Bromonaphthalene is more polar than Naphthalene. If polarity is higher, its Rf value will be less which means that molecule will travel less distance (lower Rf value) during a TLC experiment.
